[u][b]Ser Vernan Lannister[/b][/u]

Vernan was a soldier at heart and had no patience for such plotting. He doubted highly that his brother would ever wish to sit on the Iron Throne, and he cursed his mother for not having him first so that he would have to the power to do what needed to be done. "The problem we all face is that we have no true leader that will inspire others. Either you or I or any other lord could proclaim themselves as king once the dust settles, but who would follow them? We need someone that the common people can rally behind. You are not loved by them and neither am I. We need a puppet. Someone that they will love, but the power will truly be held by us."

"Once of us would have to speak with those from Dorne if you think you can get their support, but I doubt highly that they will support us. I think we are better off with trying to convince Highgarden to join us with either a marriage or promise of wealth and lands once the war is over. Gwayne Tyrell must be quite displeased over not being given the position of Hand after all."
